Everything You Need to Get Started Playing Guitar!
This fantastic starter set is perfect for beginners! Whether in music class, band rehearsal, live on stage, or around the campfire: the AS-861 brings joy everywhere. Only carefully selected materials are used for AS-861 guitars. The laminated top and body produce a beautiful, warm tone, and the precisely crafted bridge transmits string vibrations even with a gentle finger touch down to the smallest detail. The smooth tuning machines also ensure optimal tuning stability.
Classic Look
The AS-861 stands out visually with its light natural top and dark tinted body. The elaborately crafted rosette, the beautiful decorated tuning machines, and the understated headstock complete the overall look.
Which Guitar Size Is Right?
The scale length indicates the size of a guitar—or more precisely the vibrating string length between nut and bridge. The standard scale length is 650 mm and corresponds to a 4/4 guitar. All other sizes are smaller and are therefore recommended for children and teenagers.
Our Recommendations for the Scale Length Matching Age and Height:
| 1/4 Size | Age 4 to 7 years | Height up to 110 cm | Scale length approx. 47-49 cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 Size | Age 5 to 9 years | Height 110 to 130 cm | Scale length approx. 53-55 cm |
| 3/4 Size | Age 8 to 11 years | Height 120 to 140 cm | Scale length approx. 59-62 cm |
| 7/8 Size | Age 10 to 13 years | Height 130 to 150 cm | Scale length approx. 62-63 cm |
| 4/4 Size | Age from approx. 14 years | Height from approx. 150 cm | Scale length approx. 63-65 cm |

Ich habe mir diese Gitarre als 2.-Instrument gekauft, weil ich meine "Schöne", sie hat eine massive Fichtendecke, lieber "in der Garage lasse", wenn ich in die Kur gehe, auf Reisen gehe, unterwegs bin. Dann brauche ich eine robuste Gitarre, bei der ich auch dann keine grauen Haare bekäme, sollte ihr etwas "passieren", worauf ich es gewiss nicht anlege (nein, ich zertrümmere keine Gitarren auf Bühnen). Aber SOLLTE ihr etwas passieren, dann wäre das schade, aber ich könnte das, nach dem Motto: "Glück im Unglück", verwinden. Würdee meiner anderen, auf verschiedenen Ebenen für mich wertvolleren, etwas passieren, wäre das schon anders...
Außerdem: Wenn Du Gitarre spielen anfangen willst, aber Du hast echt nicht mehr Geld als Du es für diese Gitarre ausgeben könntest - dann tue es! Mein Gitarrenlehrer zitiert gerne seinen Professor, der immer meinte: Ein schlechter Gitarrenspieler wird auf einer teuren Gitarre immer noch schlecht klingen, auf einer billigen wird ein Guter aber auch immer noch gut klingen! Und überhaupt: Wenn es jetzt nicht anders geht, wäre es wirklich ein fataler Fehler nicht in die Welt der Musik einzutauchen, nur weil es am Geld fehlt! Ich begann damals mit einer 3/4 Gitarre und ich war über 20 und 1,88 groß. Egal! Ich hatte den Fuß erstmal in der Tür, darauf kam es an. Mit dieser Gitarre kann man das sehr gut: Seinen Fuß in der Tür zur Welt der Musik haben.
Die Lieferung lief einwandfrei. Zubehör ist nett.

Questions about product
Question by Zoé Blum on 15.02.2021
Is there also a music booklet included here? It doesn't say so, that's why I'm asking. And what is meant by guitar school?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
A music book, in which you can write notes yourself, is not included in the set. The guitar school is a booklet with exercises and instructions on notes, chords, etc.
Question by Sieglinde Küster on 03.12.2020
What is the difference between the AS 861 and the AS 851 ?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The models are relatively similar, except for the wood used: while the AS-861 uses spruce, the AS-851 uses basswood.
Question by Jácome Fernández on 03.02.2018
I need to know if it is left-handed ready and if it can be used by an adult.
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
The guitar is for adults but not for left-handed players. - That is the correct model which is also for adults: https://www.kirstein.de/Gitarrensets-fuer-Erwachsene/Classic-Cantabile-AS-851-L-Konzertgitarre-4-4-Starter-Set-fuer-Linkshaender.html
